Good to see Raffy back in the lineup.  Some folks were thinking it could be as worse as putting him on the IL.  Raffy II at SS?  they must have given up on the Hamilton stint there, especially since Hamilton would normally start against a righty.

OK, Cora said Raffy II is leaving CF to play SS, so Abreu can play RF while Duran moves to CF.  He says, " Abreu has to play."  I think his bat is finally coming around.

LOL at Raffy II!

It looks like once again we got a decent start (But can any of these guys get out of the 6th inning?) and then the bullpen came in.  Sox have 2 hits. 

I haven't caught a lot of full games this year between timing and doing other stuff and I think I'm glad.

I'm thinking the Ninety-Nine isn't worried about going bankrupt this season.

The 2024 Sox are cursed.  They get Raffy back in the lineup today.  Then he runs into O'Neill chasing a fly ball.  O'Neill is now on the concussion protocol.

[longgame]

Sox lead the league in fewest Earned runs allowed and most unearned runs allowed.  You can't make this crap up.

A team with no depth with its only valuable players dropping like flies.
